Imitation Is Flattery?

They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery. If that is true, then I guess that I should feel really flattered that a local Mobile Notary Public here in Los Angeles not only "imitated" just one of the policies that I created, it seems that he also "lifted" several of my sound, self-created Notary policies, including my stated Waiting Fee and Hotel Parking Fee. He copied them word for word! Wow!

I've been copied before. A Mobile Notary from the Bay Area of California called me and told me that he thought that my Starbucks Special was genius, and that he was going to steal my idea. I didn't mind that, because he TOLD me he was doing it, and paid me a compliment, so that was way different. He didn't copy me word-for-word, either.

This other guy, on the other hand, is surprising. I bloody well can't sue him or anything, I suppose. Would that be ridiculous? It's just that my words have been lifted, word-for-word. Wow again. And get this- he has the nerve to put "copyright" at the end of his pages! Do I dare name the culprit? Nah...not today anyway. I just found this out not ten minutes ago, too.

Damn...
